Su Man: "You know what I mean. Now, I’ll ask one last time, are you buying the washing machine and TV or not?"
Worried that Su Man’s mood might affect the development of their unborn son, Wen Siyuan finally relented. He said, "Let’s skip the washing machine for now. I’ll try to get a TV license and buy the TV first. Will that do?"
"What if you can’t get the TV license? Are we not buying it then?" Su Man considered it more practical to buy a washing machine as it would spare her from hand washing, but the thought of having a TV that could attract neighbors to their home made her favor the TV more.
In fact, it was Su Man’s vanity at play.
Outside the master bedroom, sisters Wen Yue and Wen Yi were secretly listening to their father and stepmother talking. When they heard their father mention buying a TV, both sisters’ eyes lit up instantly.
"Let’s go, back to the room."
Pointing to the bedroom where the three sisters stayed, Wen Yue hinted to her younger sister, Wen Yi.
Wen Yi nodded her head.
"Big sister, second sister, wait for Little Fish!" Wen Yu, at the age of three, saw her two sisters heading to their bedroom and couldn’t help but follow them with her little legs.
As the bedroom door was not soundproof, hearing the noise in the living room, Wen Siyuan opened the master bedroom door and saw his little daughter running away from the living room. He frowned slightly and turned back to look at Su Man, saying, "Spending a bit more money should do the trick."
Wen Siyuan knew it was tough to get a TV license, but he planned to first ask someone he knew. If he could borrow it, great; if not, he would have no choice but to buy one from the scalpers outside the department store.
And when Wen Siyuan thought about borrowing a TV license, the person he immediately considered was Director Song.
So, he left the house and headed straight for the Song family’s place.
Unbeknownst to him, Luo Yanqing was there too, sitting with Dean Song, and just like him, was there to borrow a TV license.
"TV license?"
Elder Song looked puzzled: "Didn’t your family just buy one, and now you’re asking for a TV license? What for?"
